COLLEGE.

July @.-We feel that Washington
College has not lately received the atten-
ton 1t deserves. There has been d fail
ure on the part of some one to let the out
side world know Of our advantages here
and of our business and building boom.
To begin with the G. G. G. railroad will
soon be laid through our city, and with
1t We hope machine shops and carworks
will be established here. We know the
railroad Is coming for Ez. s. Mathes says
SO; and besides has himself surveyed
several routes by which 1t can come
through our city. We have several large
and commodious hotels and boarding
house and several more In prospect.
Ebenezer Barkley is now laying the
foundation Of his hotel, to be called the
Great Western. He expects to have 1t
finished by the time school opens and to
accommodate q hundred, more or less.
His hotel Is intended both for q boarding
house for the college students and for q
summe resort and watering place.
Large and extensive bathing grounds are
just In front of the hotel, also q cha
lybeate spring.
We have also a large mercantile estab-
lishment and mill, o fertilizer manufacto-
ry a foundry q blacksmith and carriage
factory and a daily mail. A company is
forming here under the name of the
Street Car & Electric Light Co. Their
aim Is to establish street car lines through
u city and place electric lights on the
big hill, the electricity to be generated by
the constant running Of the street cars.
VIM. Kirk and VIM. Barkley are respect
lively president and secretary of said com
pany. They will cheerfully give any in
formation desired. 1t Is supposed they
will eventually combine with our Natural
Gas Co. This company has been In opera
ton for some time furnishing aflne quail
ity OF natural gas on all occasions, whether
deserved or not. A spirit of speculation
seems to have taken hold of our citizens.
In one day last week too farms were sold.
bought and paid for; several houses and
lots changed hands besides stock, lumber
etc., and we ourselves traded dogs twice
before dinner. Our cntcrprising real
estate agent Mr.. G.. w. Luttrell is kept
busy oil the time. He makes the rounds
Of the city every day generally accOmpan-
led by n or more capitalists. Our popu-
lation Is increasing fast; before the next
census W. expect to number about fifty
thousand, more or less. The street car
lines will connect us with Goosestrut. q
flourishing little city n short distance
south Of us. We have now u daily line
of omnibus to and from that place run
by tho Jackson Bros. With all Of these
advantages we think 1t Is our duty to
let the outside world know what we are
doing and until our daily newspaper Is
established will try to give some idea Of
our city through your columns. OF
course we do not think we have done or
can do justice to the place as should be
done but after soaking our head awhile
will try II again in our feeble way.

DIR. Frank Robinson. of Greeneville.
on Monday last attempted to cowhide q
man named Royce. an insurance agent
at that place. It appears from what we
have been able to gather that Robinson,
who had been deputy marshal for that
county. removed to Cooke county, some
time since and entered upon the practice
OF medicine. Some time later Royce Wis
lied that section and stopped with q
family whose physician was DR.. Robin
son. The head of the house. knowing
the two gentleman to be from the same
place, naturally spoke to his guest of the
presence of the other in the neighbour
hood. What was his surprise then upon
being informed that DR.. Robinson was
not known as a physician in Greeneville.
This disclosure led to the dismissal of
Dr. Robinson, and he, incensed at
koyce's action, ~endeavored to avenge him
self as above stated. The affair wound
up in the Recorders office with the i'm
position of a small fine ON Robinson: Such
an affair as this occurring in Jonesboro
would have furnished work for an un-
dertaker, a frst-class funeral and a YER
dict of .justifable homicide by a jury at
the next session of circuit court.

The thoughtlessness with which some

OF the bank to identify a person present

ture to the check, he supposing for the
mere purpose Of Identification, but as it
afterward turned out as an endorser. He
nnsuspectingly did this, and had 1t not
been for the fact Of one of the ladies to
whom he was talking calling his atten-
ton to 1t, would doubtless have been to-
day responsible for the same. As'it was,
he succeeded in placing the affair in such
a light that he was permitted to withdraw

taught Is a good one, and 1t is to be hoped

she enjoyed perfect health and was al.

Fred found his own home most pleasant.
and his own wife more agreeable, than
any other being. As the year passed and
he saw other women of Esther's age
grow sickly. faded and querulous, he ~.
allied more and more that he had "a

As the prospects fof the future ad-
vancement Of q town become more bright
and as the probability Of its becoming
at an early day one ofsthe leading places
of the division of the Slate to which 1t
may belong becomes more assured. 1t be-
hooves those authorized to make laws for
its government and to lpok after matters
calculated to advance ~ best interests to
take note of and correct to the best of
their ability any Of the little abuses of
confidence on the part Of the inhabitants,
which may have before been passed over
in silence. To this condition the town
of Jonesboro has now arrived.
As the organ through which the facil-
tiles offered by the town for industries of
all kinds are advertised 10 the country
at large. and at the same time as the edu.
Gator lin one sense of the word) of the
tastes of our people. we claim the right to
bring to their notice suck abuses Of priv.
ilege as may be brought directly to our
notice, and to ad the best of our
ability. the correction of tuch abuses.
There is one subject, the consideration
of which we have desired to bring TO the
notice of our people for some time past.
and that is the a~dvisabllity oithe passage
of an ordinance blythe town authorities
restraining within ressonsyie bounds the
festive hog. Now, while we have no
personal enmity to this valuable adjunct
to civilized life, yet at thb same time we
believe there is reason Il all things and
we think that pork is placed upon too
high a scale in this baili9ick.
Wherever one may winder. at what
ever hour the promenade may be taken
and whether 1t be indulgeh In in sunshine
or in storm, the hog Is evr present with
us. 1t monopolizes our sidewalks, block
AIDES our alley-ways and street crossings
and causes us at all times much men tai
Worriment and vexationtpf spirit. In
deed, to such an extent hasthis quadruped
abused the confidence reposed In its sense
of fairness by u people. that at times 1t
becomes Necessary to call into service a
horse and cart to remove lfrom Its wal
low in the public highway.
Now, we do not believe IN living up to
the letter of the Bismarckiln policy that
"the American hog must 60" but we do
believe, honestly, in restraining said
American hog within reasonable limits,
and laying all jokes aside 1t is time that
our town authorities should take some
steps in this matter.

Morristown special to Chattanooga
Commercial: W. l.. Reynolds. a jeweler,
who came here recently and opened q
shop in the general store Of Craig, Holley
& Craig has absconded. A letter Just
received from his wife asking for his
whereabouts led to an investigation, re-
sulting in the discovery that he had
taken a sum Of money and articles Of
merchandise, including gold and silver
watches from the store. He had gained
the confidence Of these men, and was
shown the combination Of the safe and
drawer. He leaves several bills unpaid.
II Is said a woman accompanied him.
Detectives have the matter in hand.
The man Reynolds mentioned above
was previous to this occurrence a resident
Of this place. and his escapades have be-
come a general topic Of conversation on
our streets. But his connection with
lewd women, which was the main thing
against him here, did not foot up the sum
total Of his meanness. Among other things
we can vouch for, Is the fact of his hav-
ing forged his brothers name for two or
ders aggregating some seventy odd dol.
lars. on Col. DUNCAN, Of this place. The
brother was at that time operating for the
Colonel at Fullen's depot. Greene county,
and tho orders were the supposed pay
ment for a lot Of slaves furnished the
latter.
When Reynolds left Morristown. on the
evening Of July 22d, he got of the train
at Bulls Gap. and went Immediately to

he has been traced from n point to an
other, and parties who are supposed to b
well informed state he Is at present q,
